The Lord Of The Rings trilogy came at the perfect time. Peter Jackson had a vision for the films, and he shot the entire series save for a few pick-up shots over 274 days in one big block. This audacious plan won the trilogy a record-breaking 17 Academy Awards. You couldnt repeat that trick. You just couldnt. In fact, when Peter Jackson tried to, with The Hobbit prequel films, he ended up with three movies that didnt stand up to the originals. Splitting the book into three novels and overindulging in CGI meant that The Hobbit didnt succeed on quite the same level as The Lord Of The Rings. If Lord Of The Rings was ever made again, it would surely go the same way. Too much modern CGI would spoil it, but an attempt to directly reshoot the original would just seem pointless. And the cast have become so synonymous with their characters that any other portrayals of the likes of Frodo, Gandalf and Gollum would just feel weird. Were sure New Line will consider it one day, but a Lord Of The Rings remake truly wouldnt work. Which movies would you hate to see remade? Let us know in the comments...
